The Alley Restaurant at Aiea Bowl

Coming from a Baker! There lemon crunch hit the spot!!

My husband and I ordered a mix plate Kalbi & Hamburger steak with fruit punch which cost $26.00. We anticipated it to be Ono but was so disappointed!!! The kalbi was teriyaki and hamburger steak was average. I guess a lot of people don't know the difference between the two but both my husband and I do know the difference. The place is highly popular and I do not mean to deter others with this bad review but at least make kalbi if you're going to advertise it as kalbi not teriyaki, what a waste of $26.00!!!

Need a better system of checking people into wait list. We had to complain about people being seated before our group. We had the same size group and other people were seated first. The actual server gets 5*.

Saw it on TVs Diners, dives and drive in's. It did not disappoint very yummy!

Parking: Parking wasn't too bad but the place is hard to find using android maps, took us to the lower levels of this outdoor shopping mall. The restaurant is inside the bowling center and the bowling center is on the top level. In some parts there seems to be 3 levels. Anyway once you find it you'll be in for a treat.

13 years ago, the Lemon Crunch cake was my favorite. A few days ago, I bought a whole Lemon Crunch cake for a birthday dinner.
I was quite disappointed of it's overall taste. This cake use to have a creamy- lemon toffee crunch filling between each layer and very moist........
What happened??

Saw this place on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives so you know we had to check it out when we came to Oahu. Food was excellent, we had the oxtail soup, yum yum chicken, and the garlic shrimp. Super fun place with very helpful servers and full of kind locals. Will be telling everyone we can about this place!

The food is yummy at the Alley Restaurant inside Aiea Bowl. My friend took me to this restaurant when we were in Hawaii. We were lucky to show up a little early before the long line in front of the front door. The service is fast, and the food is delicious. No wonder so many people line up in front of the bowling alley—not for bowling, but for the food.

Here with AHS classmates. Our waiter was friendly, very attentive and got our orders right. My drinks had a good amount of alcohol in it. Loved that the tables were big enough to accommodate a large group.

Everything was more expensive than listed and the fries were the skinny ones with no flavor. Hardly anything 'mega' or 'crunchy' about them.

Edit: the price discrepancy was between the laminated menu sitting on the counter and the receipt I had.

Delicious! Service was great! Loved the tasty chicken and lemon crunch cake.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly as far as the environment, but surprisingly no keiki menu. However, my daughter loved it.

We come
Here regularly for the oxtails soup and tasty chicken. They are our favorite dishes.
We also tried hamburger and pizza but I would only give those dishes like 3 stars. The most recent visit the tomatoes and other add ons are additional charges! Yeah we will keep getting the oxtail soup and tasty chicken, despite the rising price and the portion getting a little smaller, it’s still worth it.
